From the Back Cover
Dennis Rainey writes, "Today our nation suffers from a sickness of the soul because our families are weak." People in our society suffer from broken hearts, dull marriages, or rebellious kids. Marriages are crumbling, more and more couples are merely living together, singles are lonely, and homosexuality is becoming more "accepted" in popular culture. How can you confront these challenges and make the most of the widespread opportunities for ministry to families today?
The conviction of the editors of this Foundations for the Family Series volume is that family ministry in your congregation begins with your own family. Wayne Grudem and Dennis Rainey gathered a group of prominent Christian leaders to provide wisdom for people who want to see the Gospel flourish in their church families. Their essays touch on building strong marriages, confronting domestic violence, reaching out to singles, and more. Besides Grudem and Rainey, contributors to this volume include:
- R. Kent Hughes
- Danny Akin
- Bob Lepine
- H. B. London, Jr.
- Dick Purnell
- Timothy B. Bayly
- Ken Sande
- C.J. Mahaney
- Bob Davies
- David Powlison
- Paige Patterson
- Paul David Tripp
- Edward T. Welch
Building families is the greatest way to spread the kingdom in today's world. With families in such disarray in our society, the church has the opportunity to provide answers, and Christian families have a unique opportunity to bear witness to the Gospel of Christ.
